Q. The Brain Program Alumni was absolutely stimulating! Wish I'd known the information about the brain and male-female differences 30 years ago! It could have made a huge difference in my relationships! Do you know of any research about gender differences and the use of drugs?

Q. My grandson was introduced to the use of marijuana by classmates of his in the eighth grade. That was nearly five years ago. He continues to use pot quite regularly and I am noticing a decided lack of motivation. For example, he often skips school and rarely comes with his parents to family gatherings, preferring to smoke in his room recreationally or with friends. When I have asked him about this, his response is, “Well, Steve Jobs used psychedelic drugs and look what he accomplished.” I feel like my grandson’s life is unraveling and I am powerless to stop it.
